Once again, delete whichever does not apply to your spoiler. E.g. if you are posting a confirmed spoiler, leave [color=green]confirmed[/color] and delete the other two. If you are unsure, just use [color=orange]pending[/color].

* Please do not image tag the complete chapterIt is okay to image tag some pages of the chapter. Keep it at a minimum (3 pages at most), as soon as you have more: direct link it. The spoiler thread isn't meant to host a scanlation.

* Please discuss the spoilers in this thread and post here when a chapter is outPlease do not create a new thread for discussion of the chapter - continue the discussion/predictions in this thread itself.

Don't forget a lot of old characters re-appeared here, such as Buggy and the Baroque Works people, and obviously it was an all out war to save Ace, hence the name "Whitebeard War Saga", and the shocking truth might be alluding to Ace's dad being Roger.

As for Natural = Bleach, we have the repetitive story line that feels like it's being excessively dragged on, falling TOC rankings but still fairly strong volume sales. This is pretty much the same situation Bleach is in right now.

Also, Yoshida is hilarious So is the interaction between Hiramaru and Nakai.

Now the big question is really, what is Eiji going to cancel? +Natural? PCP? .....?

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

Last week i wondered where Nakai was in the 'Runningspread',only to find him in this chapter
I wonder if Nakai can really do it.We saw how should not do it.Guess Yoshida still has a lot of work to do.

I loved the page where Eiji entered the editorial department.Great use of panels and perspective.
Ashirogi should think about this non-mainstream battle-manga now or else they will never manage to defeat Eiji.

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

First off, i love how eiji been last and this weeks chapter, i missed the serious-eiji(that's like only the third time he has shown this side of himself)

As for nakai, well, like i said some months ago, everytime the story makes us think "THIS is the moment where he will turn for the better" he will sink even LOWER

But yoshida might be able to do something about it, i have a feeling they match up fine
But like someone in a previous thread said, the author(Ohba) really does dislike fat people, this time he makes it look like fat=smells bad

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

I think Yoshida has met his match is Nakai. Hiramaru thrives under the kind of abusive relationship he has with his editor. Nakai, as we have seen, tends to shut down the second he isn't happy with something. It will be interesting to see our favorite editor will deal with the problem child.

The +Natural becoming Bleach thing is kind of weird. They're seriously calling out another manga in the magazine, and letting Kubo know that they'd end his series if they had the power right now. Awesome.

Eiji's reaction to what Ashirogi had told them was interesting. Maybe he really wasn't thinking about them while Shujin was going through his funk and he was aiming for the top spot. But he's clearly thinking of something now. His entrance to the editorial department at the end of the chapter was so dynamic you'd have thought it was Fukuda doing it. The intensity in his eyes this chapter was kind of alarming. He's definitely pushing himself harder now than he ever has in the past. Really sad we aren't getting to read Crow.

Not the best chapter for Miura. If Eiji is afraid to change Iwase's stories, what chance does our pushover editor stand?

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

+Natural's a goner.

It's clear now that getting 1st place without an anime is almost impossible, so the only way to go now is to end PCP. Eiji knows the editorial department won't let Ashirogi end PCP just because they can't get an anime, so I think he pushed himself hard to be nº 1 and get the "right" to end PCP.

This is good, since it will make possible for Ashirogi to start a new manga with an anime in mind from the beginning of the project.
Bakuman's getting better and better

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

I'm pretty sure that Miura would even drive One Piece against the wall, if he became Oda's editor.

E: I'm also going with Eiji ending PCP, because it will never be in a situation to get over Crow. From what it seems, Natural+ is ending too, because Iwase would rather wrap it up then change the story.

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

"crack of the whip of love"
I know their bond is negative but it easily reaches the strength of the Ashirogi bond.

It's amazing how Eiji can look so menacing with feathers sticking out of his shirt. And yes, he's ending PCP, 'cause Shujin's heart is no longer in it, cause they won't get an anime. But I don't understand why he didn't take the first spot immediately... and it's somehow disrespectful towards One Piece, that it's so easy for him :P

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

I don't think Eiji's going to end +Natural too. I presume it's already out of the top 10 so it ending on its own is only a sooner or later thing.

The logical one would be PCP if it's not +Natural. I agree with Fizban, when Eiji heard their gratitude it sounded like he wasn't helping them at all. And few chapters earlier there's that panel of Eiji staring at a PCP page.

I think it won't go down as easily though. It's still anyone's guess if the chief will actually allow Eiji to end something he dislikes. Nevermind if PCP is currently in fourth, imagine if it was a series in second or third, I'm sure the chief won't give him the privilege so easily.

But who knows, it's possible Eiji might just be demanding a pay rise from the chief. >_____>;

Re: Bakuman 134 Discussion / 135 Prediction

It's interesting the parallel of Crow and OP (both being superpopular and the number on), Crow finished an arc about breaking out of a prison (Impel Down) on a Sky island (Skypea), and after that a all-out war (marinford war)! I always compare some mangás shown in Bakuman with some real life counterparts...

What do you desire? Money? Glory? Power? Revenge? Or something that surpass all others?Whatever you desire.... That is here... Tower of God!

It will be funny if Tite Kubo suddenly wants to end Bleach after reading this chapter. We know that he got influenced by Bakuman before right? That's when Bakuman was talking about homour then weeks later, he did add some humour scenes in Bleach but posters here aren't pleased with it. lol

Where's Naruto? probably the 1st before, now the 2nd. Ohba is not in position to say something about it even if he wants to. ^^,
